My least favorite but most consistent habit as a New Yorker when I travel: Try to walk thru a city and end up needing to cross or walk alongside a highway.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

I’m all about team collaboration but if you’re a partner and ask me, your direct underling, to review your work, I will automatically be suspicious. Like, is this a trap? Did you hide an error in here that you want to see if I can catch??

People will still go on Twitter thinking it’ll get them “more engagement” or “more authentic discourse”, and wind up with their brains deep fried. a sorry sight
Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!
